    Worms was the leading center of the German leather industry until the Second World War. At times, 10,000 people were employed in the Heyl and Doerr&Reinhart leather works, and the products from Worms were internationally known and sold worldwide. The companies had sales offices in Paris, New York and other major cities. Due to severe war damage and changing markets, production was stopped soon after the Second World War. Even today, many buildings and social and cultural facilities are reminiscent of the work of the entrepreneurial families.
    The memorial dates from 1993 and is a replica of a work by Edwin Huller that was lost in the war.

        In the 19th and the first half of the 20th century, Worms was a center of the German leather industry. In the 3 large leather works in Worms, almost 10,000 people were employed. The tanner monument, as it is officially called, is intended to commemorate this. Today, only the names of streets, squares, social facilities and a few buildings are reminiscent of the heyday of Worms' leather industry.
